<p>The awesome Detroit MC <a href="http://www.facebook.com/invincibleDET">Invincible</a> (interviewed in <a href="/issue/41">The Loud issue</a>) has a brand new documentary out about women in hip hop. From <a href="http://emergencemusic.net/The_Revival">Emergence</a>: </p>
<blockquote><p>The Revival gives a candid glimpse into the first meeting of legendary Hip-Hop pioneer Roxanne Shante and veteran Philly emcee Bahamadia, as they trade stories of their struggles and triumphs in the industry over their long careers. It also shows the exchange of lessons between them and up-and-coming artists DJ Shortee, Eternia, Stacy Epps, and Invincible. This short documentary, a collage of performances and behind the scenes footage, was filmed and directed by Invincible while on the road in Europe as part of We-B Girlz all women in independent Hip-Hop tour. The largest all female Hip-Hop tour of its kind, it spanned over three weeks, six countries, and featured dozens of female artists who performed for tens of thousands of supporters.</p></blockquote>
